NOTICE | Individual Stats Leaders Even though FTP saw a record number of visitors/pageviews this season, it was the worst year for donations since I started the site in 2007.  Ad revenue was down too.  Because I needed to pay the bills, this week, I had to go back to a regular, 40-hour a week job, much earlier than I wanted to.  I have not had time to do the stats update.  The stats take about 8 total hours to complete, 5 hours for scoring, 3 for the goalies.   I will make an attempt to complete the final stats for the regular season on Saturday or Sunday.  Thank you for your patience.

Too Slick, Too Loud, Too Successful Why John Calipari Can't Catch A Break

To contact us Click HERE




The NCAA hasn't held him accountable for any major violation, and dark rumors about his recruiting methods have never stuck. Still, no matter what good the Kentucky coach does—visiting the sick, helping at-risk kids—he's assumed to have an ulterior motive. 


S.L. Price There was a time, early on, when it seemed easy to peg John Calipari. Back in the late '80s he was just another pretty face, one more Pat Riley clone with the slick hair and dazzling patter, the just-so suits and shoes. Talent flocked to him, but he radiated a knockoff's flimsiness: too much talk and an ambition about as subtle as sharkskin. Opposing recruiters wanted to beat him bloody. Opposing coaches tried to sabotage his hiring. Omens? His first game as a head coach, the scoreboard caught fire. You just didn't figure Calipari for the long haul.


These days, of course, he is basketball's great survivor, the ever-moving (Gas up the private jet!), ever-hustling (four McDonald's All-Americans for 2011!), ever-tweeting (1.1 million followers!) head coach of the University of Kentucky. And while his eight-year, $31.7 million contract—the richest in the college game—is the most obvious measure of his success, it's hardly the most telling. Like the sharpest scavenger after a storm, Calipari has prospered more than any other coach in college basketball's broken system, gathering up top recruits, winning 30 games a season and then happily waving his one-and-done players goodbye. Last spring an unprecedented five Wildcats, four of them freshmen, went in the first round of the NBA draft. And if this season has been a relative struggle, most of Kentucky's rivals would gladly take a morning after that includes a 22--8 record, a No. 15 ranking, a 34-game home winning streak and more than enough talent to play deep into March.

"Wisconsin Climate Change Roles During the past 100 years, human behaviors have been affecting our world's climate. As human activity increases greenhouse gases, and the greenhouse effect subsequently warms the planet, Earth's climate and climate patterns are changing. Climate change impacts people, economies, and ecosystems. Behavior choices, large or small, can affect the degree of climate change. Even small changes in everyday life can make a difference.
